Yeah, that's ridiculous. You could probably almost fly to the US and and buy one for the same price.
Do it!It's roughly £300 cheaper to import an Axe FX III to the UK from the USA than to buy it from G66 in EUR.
What happens after Brexit?
Will we have a Direct Fractal Trade deal with the US?
Well,
flight from Europe to USA and accommodation: ca. 1000 Euro ( will be more ;-) )
AXE III 2499 $ and 8% tax = 2698,20 $ = 2165,19 Euro.
Returning to Europe (here Germany) you have to add approx. 23 % tax (value added tax and import tax) = 2663 Euro.
So your new AXE 3 will cost 3663 Euro.
And no warranty and support at all !
Does FAS deliver to hotel addresses at all ?
Yeah - just check in under the name of "Petrucci".
Yeah, we like to complain about prices but then we also like having our social security, state retirement pensions etc. Those have to be paid for somehow, althogh G66 markup is nothing to be laughed at. To their credit though, every time I had to deal with them the customer service was top notch.
That saidf, I'm on the list. I sort of regret selling my Standard now, I could have started a collection with all generations in a rack.
But honestly it's cheaper to pay for a return flight to US and buy it there than buying through g66.
If you believe this, then.... do it! Go in the US, enjoy the city you fly to, buy the Axe-Fx III. Get back and enjoy your units and hope to have no problem (and with this you are lucky since FAS units have so few problems)...That's a good point. But honestly it's cheaper to pay for a return flight to US and buy it there than buying through g66. Bit of joke isn't it...
Despite all mentioned facts: if you want to buy an axe in the Staates, you need a (US) credit card registered to an adress in the USA! That kills most likely everyone from Europe ...
Unfortunately yes - you need a credit card with a US billing adress.
That’s just uselessly cruel.
I'd say this is necessary as long as the US and EU don't have a trade treaty that covers warranty questions and lawsuits.
